As a person grows older, due to changes in hormone production, the amount of estrogen produced reduces. There is also a reduction in the collagen , as a result of which the skin the skin loses its elasticity and develops wrinkles. Other symptoms of aging include dryness of the skin, thinning and acne breakouts.

The resurgence night regimen has been clinically proven to improve the texture of hormonally aging skin and make it look younger. The Murad resurgence is a 3 step process which uses a renewing cleansing cream to remove the dry cells, age diffusing serum to hydrate the skin, improve elasticity, reduce wrinkles and the age balancing cream which reduces the size of the pores and makes it supple.

In the resurgence infomercial, women from different professions and age like Josie Bissett, Collette and Lorri talk about how using the Resurgence Night regimen has resulted in significant improvements in their skin texture.
